Forum users "TheOldGreyWhistle" and "Steve Colborn" are currently suspended for breaching forum rules. The duration of this suspension is pending further discussion by the moderators.
Unfortunately the Internet Department has unanimously decided that the current period of suspension for the forum user "TheOldGreyWhistle" be extended indefinitely. This decision has not been taken lightly and comes after an extended period during which a persistent unwillingness or inability to abide by the forum rules was demonstrated .
I cannot see the justification for this action nor, I expect, can many others. A very, very sad day to be a Socialist! Steve Colborn.
Can I ask that you provide specific details of OGW's indefinite ban and the reasons for the same. If this has been done with across the board support from ID members and the discussion has been as lenghty and thourough as implied, then this information should be readily to hand and as a forum user, I would like the chance to make up my own mind as to the veracity and fairness of this "evidence" and the conclusions drawn from it!. Steve.
On this thread, "suspended users" I have asked for some info, or more precisely, specific details re a suspended user. Someone, I dont know who, has flagged my post as offensive, why?I am on the correct thread to dicuss this topic, am not trolling, being offensive, using foul and defamatory language, nor insinuating wrongful comments. So why has someone flagged this post? This is intolerable! Steve.
I also wonder why TheOldGreyWhistle has been suspended indefinitely. Most forum members will not be aware that I was also suspended at the same time as him, from the same thread "Future Elections". It was never mentioned openly on the forum. Presumably he was suspended for the same unexplained reasons as myself. My suspension was lifted early, yet OGW has been given an indefinite suspension, without any valid explanation as to why, except a vague reference to an inability to follow forum rules.If he has deliberately chosen to constantly break forum rules and flout numerous warnings, then these could surely be demonstrated, by providing references to the offences and warnings?Surely openness is a core value of the SPGB?(Waiting with anticipation to be flagged, but expecting no answer)
This situation in reference has not arisen out of nowhere been going on for some months, taking up many hours time of the moderators, the internet committee and the executive committee. A valid explanation has been given and further details can be found by referring to EC minutes of the last 6 months or by browsing past threads.
